formula .pr Hvg Cholera.

A formula for mixture that is report
ed to be exceedingly efficacious in Tennes-
sector maladies coming under the conve-
nient head Of sscholera'' is as follows:
Extract Of logwood, ounces; bluestoEe,
drachms; mix these with pints Of boil
ing water. To this add 1-2 pints Of turpen-
tine, the same quantity Of kerosene, also
of raw Inseed oil This makes 10 1-2
pints, to which is added about 81 pints Of
pokeroot tea, and the whole will make one
dose (of one pint each) for thirty two hogs.
Bluestone in this recipe is also called blue
vitriol. It is salphate of copper and is not
the same as copperas. The latter is
sulphate of iron and called also green
vitriol. A good authority says Of this
mixture: "As preventive of disease, by
the destruction Of disease germs and in
testina1 worms, the above prescription is
well suited to inspire confldeace in its eff
ficiency."
